Ski World Championship: Italy shines in the team competition in Saalbach!

On Tuesday, February 5, 2025, the 2025 ski championship in Saalbach-Hinterglemm was opened with a lot of shine and glamor. The first medal decision took place on the opening evening, and the Italian team surprised everyone with their victory in the Parallel team competition, while Switzerland won silver and Sweden. However, the quarter -finals were disappointing for the Austrian team when it was thrown out of the competition by Sara Hector and her team, such as ski1.at reports .

The spectacular "Home of Snow", a glittering meeting point for sports legends, fans and stars, lies in the heart of the event. This imposing building on the main square of the Zwölferkogel will become the center of celebration and networking in the next two weeks. The winners of all eleven races are celebrated there every day. Gastronomic care takes place by local providers, including "Voi.Bio", which comes with a variety of dishes. For the 14 event days, 4,850 kilograms of meat and sausage, as well as over 12,000 pieces of pastry, were prepared, reports Ski1.at.

science behind the snow

In parallel to the World Cup, the history of snow research is also re -examined. In a current report, the research progress is explained, which described essential principles of snow and triggering avalanches 90 years ago. The visual representations of modern measuring devices of the time that offer insight into the microstructure of snow crystals and their behavior under different conditions are particularly impressive. These findings have laid the basis for today's snow research and illustrate how important a well -founded understanding of snow physics is for safety in winter sports.
